Today I want to go
one of my most favorite place very nearby home. Neral. A small village in the outskirts of Mumbai. My childhood has been filled with fishing, swimming(or trying to) and boating out there. The place reminds me of the rurals and most earthy habits. You find kacha roads; cows,dogs,horses and donkeys everywhere; only one considerably nice hotel which all villagers drool at and a market filled with roadside vendors selling homemade products. Very interesting for a city dweller. (trust me!!) When you walk around donning a cool pair of shades and a nice bag, you are oggled at like a celebrity.The place is primarily famous for its mini train which takes you to Matheran. Mather
an is a pretty famous hill station mainly for its horse riding and red mud. maybe i will talk more about it some other time. The second thing it is famous for( or atleast I think it is!!) is the fish farm. It is friggin beautiful. The place has mini shacks surrounding and in the middle of a big pond. You stay, catch and eat fish. You have a campfire, chill, socialise basically go on a ride to heaven. It is so relaxing that coming back is like OHNO!!Links:
